Placing the swf in a Table in HTML

[Matt Stone]

DOH!  Forgot about that!  Thanks!

Now I'm down to fine tuning.  Last problem (I hope): when the page turns, especially the "stiff" cover page, it's chopped off on the top, i.e., when the corner of the turning page rises above the top of the displayed page, it is not displayed.  I've tried changing box, book, and page parameters, gave plenty of room in my row height in HTML, but to no avail.  Any solutions?  The page is at http://www.mattstone.biz/mshowcase/maint.html.

Thanks.

Well, for one, you'll also have to set the height of the Flash object, not just the row. After that the book will touch the top of the row, which is because it apparently cannot find the megazine.asul file... otherwise it should be centered. If you removed it to avoid "automatic scrolling", have a look at the FAQ to avoid that without removing the complete megazine.asul file..

[Matt Stone]

I don't know why it can't find the megazine.asul file...it's there in the gui folder.  Is there anything else I'm doing wrong that's keeping it at the top of the row?

[Matt Stone]

It centers the megazine flash nicely when maint.html is loaded as a file on my local machine...but not online.  The asul file is on the server in the same place as my local machine.  Strangely, while I was working on it over the weekend, it was being centered for a little while...but I don't remember what I changed to ruin that.

Also, why does a bit "?" show before the cover page when the swf is loading?  How can I get rid of that?

[Matt Stone]

One last question...if I can figure out how to display megazine correctly, is it possible for the flash object to be positioned at the bottom of the row instead of centered?  If so, how would I do that?

As you're running an IIS it's likely to be the file extension. If you can configure it, see http://www.megazine3.de/wiki/index.php/MegaZine3_on_IIS
Otherwise see http://www.megazine3.de/doc/Book#asulextension

The question mark is the loading text, see http://www.megazine3.de/doc/Book#thumbloadtext

To make it align to the bottom, you'd have to adjust the megazine.asul file, in specific the pagecontainer. You'd probably want to not have it be a scrollpanecontainer, but a box instead, and give it a sufficient top padding or something like that.

Thank you so much for your help.  Everything looks great!  I couldn't declare MIME types at Godaddy, but I could on my test server, and that's where the link points.  What a great Flash Object!  The documentation is a bit limited, and I couldn't spend more than a half hour at a time on it, which makes it hard to get the "feel" of it.  But with your help, I have something that doesn't look too shabby!
